Microsoft will allow self-publishing on the Xbox One - Every Xbox One will be a development unit. "Our vision is that every person can be a creator. That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements. This means great discoverability on Xbox LIVE. We'll have more details on the program and the timeline at gamescom in August." No matter how much Microsoft screwed up the initial PR around the new Xbox, this is just awesome news.

First people cry about how the Xbox is a closed system for indie developers. So they open it up and what do people do when they get what they want? They still cry, claiming it's just a move out of desperation. People can be such idiots, I swear. If Microsoft jumped off a cliff, the Microsoft haters would still find something to piss their panties about. Undoubtedly some really stupid shit like they didn't jump off the cliff correctly.
